Melted Reality

'when will you be here again?' is the second album from Eora-based artist Grasps, following the 2019 release of their metal/ambient/electronic enmeshment 'Awoken'. On WWYBHA, angels crash to earth, impacts heavy and burns through atmosphere, but not forgetting the fall, the beautiful grace of silk and hair through cool mist and soft clouds. Combining solo works with a carefully curated set of collaborations with Bayang (tha Bushranger), Marcus Whale & Wa?ste (Felix Idle), Grasps pushes extremes of 'genre' throwing all preconceived notions of their music away, in replacement raw emotional sonic outpouring.

This album is about dealing with uncertainty/fear of death, the afterlife, identity & self-worth.

I look to an empty field. It's like a fantasy. I could stop. I could get out and walk over to it. I could smell the grass closer. The hay. The sprigs of corn. I could hear the cicadas louder. I could come closer to it. I think, when will you be here again?

When Will You Be Here Again?

Fairy-esque synths, digital strings and spectral atmospherics combine to lure you into tuna's “Object Permanence”, out via NYC's Altamira Records on June 14th, 2024. In the release, tuna, real name Julian Schäfer, evokes fractals that combine his glossy audio productions with the lushness of the boreal world.

Represented through a mixture of auditory synthesis and fantastical themes, “Object Permanence” ponders, and then objects to, the idea of immutability. The natural world serves as a metaphor for the concept. An appropriated painting of a shoreline on the EP's cover may seem like a representative moment of nature's beauty and order, but through evaporation, tides, human intervention, and the life and death of millions of organisms that live within, a seemingly static frame is actually representative of a continually changing environment.

The closing song, “Melt Like Water,” encapsulates this theme with a quote by a tribal community elder from Vanuatu in Werner Herzog’s 2016 documentary, "Into the Inferno." “Everything will melt, the stones, the trees, everything, like water.” In our crumbling world, how can one expect any permanence?

ok, listen up. maybe you can’t be ur best friend. that’s okay i guess but plz think about it sometimes.
ehhh sry to start the bandcamp note like that but this album made me do it.
“nigdy nie jest dobrze (wojtek)” is made of mental health walk sounds, cognitive behavioral sound design, leave me alone atmospheres and high-passed lust for life.
it’s an in-between moment to try having a party within urself, to test some new ideas about urself, and finally to inhale some professional-amateur-cheese-consuming-basses.
heh
yeah
hahah
main tag : me-core♪

The idea of deeply personal voyeurism is very tempting for me to explore but I find it rly hard to convey in a non-visual medium - it just always lacks somethin. “nigdy nie jest dobrze (wojtek)” somehow makes it work. Maybe because ehh hahah is an observer like me? Heh
With fire-prone snares, rims and stick sounds, he translates big narratives into small stories - stories that are poetic, stories that are introspective, and stories that are goofy. This album feels like a friend who makes my mundane life a bit more fun and helps to enjoy a day while it lasts.
When first hearing it, I had this image of opening a window during a sunny summer day, looking around, grasping all that is happening in my neighborhood.
I cherish that memory, as I cherish this album.

§ ⅠII【160624_EhhHahah】🥲
this album is for sure a very personal one to me, in the sense that i was making it while discovering that I’m depressed and trying to deal with it - hence the strong melancholic background of the whole thing.
music is certainly an obvious way of expressing emotions for me, but what may be peculiar is that I made most of the songs very spontaneously and in short sessions, without spending too much time on them - it’s a more expressive approach that allows me to more accurately capture the momentary mood. Therefore, i can risk saying that it’s a form of therapy BUT I’d rather not use this term directly, so as not to depreciate real therapy.
The songs are ultimately selected to present a certain spectrum of different inspirations - ambient (“hen daleko rap”), nu-jazz, hip-hop, field recordings. there are also IDM moments, more danceable ones. it’s also a form of searching for one's place and I think the whole thing is about some loss and searching (which may never come, wojtek)

Kogarashi - The Ballad Of Marshall (adorablesteak96 remix)

Off the back of performances together at PG Party and the PC Music afterparty at The Lower Third, 'Up' is the debut collaboration between The JLB and MC TYSK (of Random Select). The track is fast, fidgety and features a relentlessly squidgy bass line throughout. The ad libs are a movie. If I had to describe the track visually, imagine the fictional character Noddy on really good pills and they start MCing to you.
